XRGB2+ and PGM/SH3 games

Has anyone here tried an XRGB2+ with any of Cave's PGM or SH3 games? How was your experience with it?

Yep, works great.

Cool, thank you

I missed out on one that went for 10k a few days ago and one that went for a BIN of 15k today. If I'm patient I should be able to get a good deal.

Oops sorry, looks like I mis-spoke. I have both an XRGB2 and XRGB2+. Its the XRGB2 that works flawlessly on any Cave board when you flip the PCB switch. The 2+ does not have this switch, and as such the video comes out with overly saturated colors. I've herd you can mod a scart cable with resistors on the R/G/B lines to bring the line voltage down to .7 and it should look fine. I plan to do this mod sometime soon and post some side-by-side comparisons on my blog.

could u just adjust the color settings ect for pcbs on a 2+?

I have a 2+ but use my pcbs on a rgb monitor.

Yes, no problem. You can adjust each color (R, G, B) individually with the X-RGB 2+.

Yes you can adjust the colors, but I don't think that will fixed the saturation from the high rgb pcb voltage. Maybe I'm wrong. I won't have any free time to check this out for a couple weeks.

it wouldn't on megadrive games in rgb.... had to add those resistors on the cable for it to be right.

Sorry you are right, I'm using the X-RGB 2+ with a Cave game (ESP Ra.De), but I also have resistors in the RGB cable of my supergun. So without the resistors you may have problems with the colors.
